A color guard at @mcrdparrisisland at Present and then at Parade Rest. At Present: ❌The national socket is lower than the org! 👉Spacing is inconsistent, should be Close Interval. ❓Hold the phone! The guards aren't pushing their rifles forward at Parade Rest. That's because they are holding the M14 and the MCO does not allow for pushing it forward like a 1903 or M1 Garand and it's because the hand guard is so very short. 👉The Army requires the M14 to be pushed forward just like every other rifle.

Ten years ago! I had an idea that I might be able

Ten years ago! I had an idea that I might be able to make a basic rifle with which to practice or even perform. A friend at my church was a carpenter whose garage was the perfect wood worker's playground. He had everything. He taught me how to use the equipment properly so that I could realize my idea. Several hours later I had a 1903 and an M1 Garand, each of solid pine. It wasn't simple, but easy enough. I recorded every step in photos and wrote an article about it. Plus, I created patterns for each rifle (the M1 just seems better) that you can download for free from the Resources page at my website. The patterns have been downloaded thousands of times by many for drill teams, marching bands, and indoor color guards (Winter Guards).

Here's the article: https://thedrillmaster.org/2012/07/06/the-drillmaster-idrill-rifle/ there's also an article on how to add weight and another that is an independent review!

#DrillAndCeremoniesHistory - it wasn't until 1873 that the position of Attention required the feet to be at a 45-degree angle with heels touching. Before this time, each man managed best he could for his heels with his "feet turned out" but not turned out too much or it would render the stance unsteady. In one book, the Soldier was to look at the ground at a distance of 15 feet. Palms were turned forward with pinky behind the seam of the trouser leg/pantaloons.

Congratulations on your promotion, "devil worshipe

Congratulations on your promotion, "devil worshiper". I know, that's really harsh, but that's the idea behind this. The star is upside down and it's being unfurled on front of the USAF officer who is being promoted. You didn't bother to check it as the bearer who would unfurl? No one paid any attention at all until it was too late. Maybe no one noticed. We just blindly go about our days without a second thought to what we are doing and then two parts of an F-15's guidance system get criss-crossed that cause a critical failure in the guidance of the plane while it's in the air. The pilot could ditch, but if he does, the plane crashes into a small German village. He decided to forcefully guide the plane into a field nose-first. Yes, this actually happened. The crew chief was so distraught, he committed suicide. 👉What's the moral of the story? If you can't pay attention to the little, seemingly insignificant stuff, why on earth would anyone trust you with millions of dollars worth of equipment, let alone a life?

I've married Mrs. DrillMaster 22 times. We celebrate our anniversary each year by doing something unique and reciting our vows (1 Cor 13 and Ruth 1:16). This year was our first time without our pastor (that's in another week). We've been married in South Carolina, Okinawa, Germany, California, Florida, on several beaches, in base chapels, in a boat on the Atlantic Ocean, by USAF and Navy chaplains, a ship's Captain, and now just us with family and friends. Twenty-two years and counting. ❤️ Our first ceremony was by a justice of the peace on a Wednesday after deciding to get married on the previous Friday. Mrs. (then Capt.) DrillMaster then changed her name tape on her BDUs and we did the join spouse paperwork to the sheer amazement of the poor A1C in personnel. Everything hit the fan after that, but we made it through. #DrillMasterHistory

I began writing my book, The Honor Guard Manual, around 2010 (we were stationed at Spangdahlem Air Base in Germany). Wendy Lazar, the creator of Glendale Parade Store, and I talked quite a bit about my first two books, Exhibition Drill for the Military Drill Team and my WDA Adjudication Manual. She asked if I'd considered honor guard since, by then, I'd had around 11 or so years experience in the USAF HG program. She told me that two firefighters began work on a book, but one died (FL) and she didn't know about the other gentleman (Midwest or Northeast). I began writing and searching. I searched for anything I could find regarding these weird tools that firefighters used, the pike pole and fire axe. Surely someone has already had the idea and I can expand on their work. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I continued my searching over the years every once in a while and came across training that was offered, but nothing published. That is until last week. This was written in 1996. It is 86 pages and has a place in my library now, not as a reference, although there are a couple of interesting ideas, but it's mainly as a reminder of those who came before me and tried their best. #DrillMasterHistory #DrillAndCeremoniesHistory

Promotional photo from a previous Independence Day celebration with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra. That's John Williams conducting behind the color guard. 👉The team shows an unbelievable lack of training. ❌Left guard has no idea what to do with his hands. ❌Right guard is barely a bit better with hand placement. ❌Wrong staffs and most likely finials. ❌Fringe is forbidden on national flags displayed and carried in the Navy. ❌The gold cord and tassels is not authorized for either flag. ❌The national is being carried lower than the departmental. ❌Both grips on the staff are wrong and the departmental bearer went above and beyond for wronger with the Palm-out Grip. All POs and not one looked at MCO 5060.20. No one in the command provided guidance?

Nice job, team! The current issue for CAP cadet ce

Nice job, team! The current issue for CAP cadet ceremonial training is that it's no longer centralized. That means all kinds of inconsistencies abound and those who train need better initial training. There also needs to be a national certification for trainers (at least!) and even their trainees. This can be accomplished by written testing, photos, and even videos that are submitted to one location for review. I wonder who does that already... Oh, that would be me!

Let's look at what can be improved here: ❌Colors must be tucked between the right arm and staff. ❌Guard left hands too high. ❌Org bearer's left should look just like nats bearer's. ❌Wood staffs only. ❌Rifles need better positioning. Left is too low. Right has too much of an angle. ❌Feet need some more work. ⭐I do appreciate the obvious evidence of training here. It's not complete, but you're almost there. There are some really good details taken care of. Keep up the good work!

Colors presentation by a team from @mcrdsd for the San Diego Padres. This falls under the category of #TheDrillMasterIsImpressed - except for the right hands of both guards. The thumbs aren't tucked and should be right behind the small of the stock. Both guards are of shorter stature and the rifles are too low. Left guard's left hand is too high as well. There's no need for the org's harness socket to be lower than the national's. #ColorsHarnessLevel shows you why.

This is a classic setup for an entrance at stage right. Colors CANNOT face to the right as that puts the national flag out of the position of honor. Yes, they begin correctly, but the ending position is wrong. The only way to execute a stage right entrance properly is by performing #EveryLeftOn - while some scoff when I use "only", there is another way here, but it take much too long to snake in a complete "U" turn. Every Left On is much quicker, requires less room to execute, and is more professional looking. ❌Poor rifle technique and there's ❌no reason for the bearers to use Trail Colors, Right Shoulder should have been used. #Repost @nypdpsa7explorers

Ceremonial (not regulation drill, but if it helps, and it will, use it) colors bracing techniques sequence. #MakeFlagstaffManualGreatAgain There's quite a bit of information to go with each stage. Start is Bearers Ready, Two - left hand moves to socket. Bearers Ready, Step - left foot out 4"/6". Bearers Ready, Slide - left hand moves up the staff to under and touching the right. Bearers Order, Colors - go to Order as best you can, gather the silk under the right, commander gives another Bearers Ready, Step and the left is brought into the right. If you need to, keep both hands on the staff.

If the wind is that bad, your probably in a hurricane...

The command is "Eyes, RIGHT!" The command ALONE renders a hand salute when not armed. MCO 5060.20 did not change, NO ONE else salutes, they turn their heads to the right, it is a FORM of a salute, which is why the national bearer does not turn his head on colors (Marine Corps, Navy, and Coast Guard only). This is simple stuff. Where were the trained NCOs and why did no one speak up? Leadership fail. From @will.kerrigan.usmc

#MakeFlagstaffManualGreatAgain - you are traveling

#MakeFlagstaffManualGreatAgain - you are traveling or standing at #AnglePort and the flag slips forward. What do you do? Angle Port is also Present in low clearance areas. If the flag is in no danger of touching anything beneath it, you can let it remain. However, if it may touch something or if you are traveling with it, you must gather the silk over your left arm. Always gather when traveling. Notice my hands here. We start with the silk fallen forward. Try to keep the staff angled. Reach up with your right hand, and pull the staff toward you so that you can gather the silk with your left hand. Notice that my left thumb is sticking out. I find it easier to gather the silk with my thumb in this position. Regrasp the staff with the left hand where it was before and bring the right back to its flared position as shown. 👉You won't find this anywhere else. I created this whole technique. You don't have to use it, however, I find that it is an essential tool to have at the ready, just in case.

⭐Some of my awesome Certified US Ceremonial Guardsmen in Montana presenting the colors for the MT Sheriff's and Peace Officer's Association. They did an outstanding job! I absolutely love the rifles. The uniform, boots, cowboy hats, and rifles are just perfect! Well done, team! You display a high level of excellence! Swipe for the battle cross they made. ⭐A great adaptation to the one I designed (on the Resources page of my website).

The Palm-out Grip is not used in the US military.

The Palm-out Grip is not used in the US military. First responders, in general, follow US military guidelines for color guard (among other things) and yet this grip crops up not only with LEO, fire, and EMS teams, but most of the Cadet organizations as well. And, here comes the angry comments, there's no reason to carry the POW flag.

A flag display can have as many flags in it as one

A flag display can have as many flags in it as one wishes. I don't know exactly the context here of the location and who is ultimately responsible for the building. It might be Army that's in charge. If so, flag spreaders are common for their displays. However, if this is AF-owned, flag spreader use is specifically forbidden by AFI 34-1201. Update- that's the Defense Logistics Agency flag toward the end, so Army is the senior service present.

Another question this image brings up is the staffs and finials. I'm very glad that the spread eagle finial is nowhere to be found, but why the dark staffs and conical spearheads? They aren't authorized. Upside down GO flag!

👉I had a JROTC instructor comment years and years ago "But, the Pentagon uses the dark wood staffs" so he was going to have his cadets march with whatever he wanted. My response to that kind of silly comment is that there are several locations and agencies in all branches of our military that completely ignore the published standards for that service. However, we can read and see in our manuals what we are supposed to carry. Just because a group jumps off a bridge or eats laundry detergent does that mean you'll do it too when you (hopefully) know better?

Before entering certain churches (Roman Catholic t

Before entering certain churches (Roman Catholic to be one), the flag is removed from the casket, a pall is placed (where the term #pallbearers comes from), the casket is placed appropriately by two pallbearers, the service takes place, the casket is brought to the entrance, the pall removed, and the flag draped once again.

A pallbearer at the head and foot gently raise the flag off the casket, fold it in thirds or (as with the first two folds of the standard military sequence) in quarters and then drape the flag over the arms of one pallbearer to the side while the other three pallbearers step aside. Notice here in @mattpdrill's arms that the flag deeply draped in between his arms. That's the job of the two at the head and foot to ensure and even balance of the flag material so there is no possibility of the flag touching anything beneath it.

The pallbearer with the flag moves away and places the flag out of site of the public in a predetermined area (office) of the church laying it down so that it can be easily retrieved just as it is. No need to lay it flat or go through the process of folding it, it needs to be ready as does the bearer who retrieves it.

For the colors presentation for the christening of the USS Montana, leadership and the color guard members apparently wanted to do something different so they didn't read MCO 5060.20 or NTP 13B and made everything up as they went. It was so much easier not having to follow those pesky standards and required zero practice! ❌No fringe for the national. ❌Gold cord and tassels not authorized. ❌Red, white, and blue cord and tassels required. ❌Wrong staffs and finials. ❌When you have the ceiling height, you go in at Carry. ❌Left guard at Left Shoulder. ❌Guards must wrap left hands around hand guards. ❌No arm swing. ⭐Leaving at #PortForColors is appropriate. ❌Guards should have been at Port or Trail for departure. 👉This is very disappointing.

From @pacificmarines ❌AR 840-10, MCO 5060.20, and AFI 34-1201 all tell us how a joint service color guard is. A full joint color guard does NOT include any other flag. The state flag should not be in the formation. Two more three-man color guards should have been formed with the American flag and the Korean flag, both with two guards. ❌The left guard does NOT go to Left Shoulder. Army rules apply. ❌Army has their typical 3'x4' flags. Any joint ceremony requires the 4'4"x5'6" flags because that's the only size that the Marine Corps, Navy, and Coast Guard are authorized to carry.
